I would like someone to help me with my problems about creating visual novels and first of all excuse me for my ignorance regarding game creations and my bad English.
I have zero knowledge about programming and 3d modeling, but I have seen that Daz3d is used to create renders and Renpy is used to make visual novels. But my doubts are ... Is it only enough to know how to use Daz to create the renders and then export them to Renpy? What requirements must a computer have to create a decent game? I have always been fascinated by the idea of creating visual novels, but due to my stupid ignorance I get a little sad about it.

You don't "export" anything to Ren'py. Daz permit you to render more or less complex, and more or less realistic, scenes that will then be nothing more than numerical images, like the photo you get with you smartphone by example. Then you use Ren'py to display those images when needed.
In some way, doing a Visual Novel game with Ren'py is nothing more that the slideshow night where Uncle Bob show you the tons of photo he took during his two weeks holidays ; except that a VN isn't always as boring as Bob's narration.


What requirements must a computer have to create a decent game?
You need something relatively recent and powerful for Daz, but for Ren'py globally any computer less than 15 years old can do it.

Take a game that is relatively basic, like Kelly's family: Mother in law by example, and the . Look at the content in the "rpy" files, starting with the "script.rpy" one. And try to understand how it works, without hesitation when it come to change something in order to find if you understood correctly or not. It's not totally easy, but it's also far to be as difficult as it look at first.

It will help you to know if you feel like doing it or not.

Oh wow ... I really appreciate your help. You clarify some things for me, but I see that in addition to understanding about Renpy, I must buy a new computer, since mine sucks.

What are your computer specs? You do not need DAZ3D. You can make games with anything.
Unless your computer is REALLY bad.

My computer is so bad that I am even ashamed to send this image.
Hey:)
You can create a team.
You can write scenarios and code. Than u can post your text on this site and find a teammate, who will be make arts for your game.
Im have very bad pc too. So, i just use real porn. Also, u can try honey select or koikatu for images:)
Just start with one thing, such as scenarios. And post it here (f95zone) and make a request to find a team to create a game

You still play a bit with Ren'py on this computer. It will be a little slow, but still enough for a first approach.
